The TPK Holiday Calligraphy Worksheet 2017 Edition is now available! The worksheet will help you to create elegant holiday calligraphy and an impressive flourished snowflake calligraphy medallion. You can find details in this post!

Just after Halloween, I started working on coming up with content for this year’s edition of the Holiday Calligraphy Worksheet. I wanted it to be different from last year’s worksheet; something that would offer you all-new writing styles and a grand pièce de résistance at the end. I am quite happy with the result, which I’ll tell you about in this blog post!

The Calligraphy

This worksheet features seven different ways to write various holiday greetings. I won’t enumerate them here; you can find a list of the greetings in the worksheet product description. The goal of the calligraphy section of the worksheet is to take the guesswork out of writing calligraphy greetings. Many of the greetings in this worksheet feature embellishments that don’t appear in the Learn Calligraphy worksheets. These embellishments can help to make your calligraphy feel more festive!

Every greeting in the worksheet includes instructions, tips, and a section for practice. You’ll learn exactly how to write the greeting with a “training wheels” approach. The practice starts with a lot of guidance and help, and by the end of the page, you’ll be writing the greeting by yourself!

Numbers, dots, and arrows show you exactly how to write each greeting.

In addition to holiday greetings, the worksheet also includes four creative ways to write “2018”. This should come in handy as we head into the New Year! You can use the “2018” variations to make greeting cards, decorative tags for wine or champagne, or themed bullet journal pages.

These variations of “2018” are perfect for New Year paper goods like gift tags and greeting cards!

Traceability

One of my favorite things about this worksheet is its traceability. If you’re in a time crunch, place your greeting of choice on a light box. Put a light-colored blank greeting card, gift tag, or envelope over the greeting. Then, simply use your dip pen or the faux calligraphy technique to trace directly over the greeting.

I love my light box and use it all the time! You can learn more about light boxes — and whether you would use one enough to justify the purchase — in this blog post.

The tracing method provides a shortcut that helps you to create beautiful holiday paper goods in a matter of minutes! It’s a fantastic technique if you’re pressed for time because it eliminates the need to draw and erase pencil guidelines.

This holiday card came together in about three minutes thanks to the use of the light box tracing technique!

Flourished Snowflake Calligraphy Medallion

The worksheet concludes with five pages of instructions over how to make a gorgeous flourished snowflake calligraphy medallion. You’ll find a step-by-step process that will teach you how to make your own snowflake calligraphy medallions of any size!

This worksheet will walk you through exactly how to make a gorgeous snowflake calligraphy medallion.

This calligraphy medallion looks particularly fetching on the back of envelopes. Of course, it would also be a welcome addition to gift tags, holiday cards, and sketchbook journal pages, among other things.

My favorite place to put calligraphy medallions is on the back of envelopes! A medallion makes for a beautiful surprise when the recipient turns over the envelope to open it.

Where to Find the Worksheet

You can find the TPK Holiday Calligraphy Worksheet 2017 Edition by clicking here. It’s a downloadable, printable product, so make sure you have some high-quality paper (I like 32# laserjet) to print it on! You’ll also need a straight or oblique calligraphy pen — whichever you prefer — and your favorite nib and ink.

You’ll enjoy the different calligraphy styles and greetings featured in the worksheet!

The cost of this newly-released worksheet is $5.00, which helps me to recoup the time and effort that I put into making it. That said, I like to make sure that I have a free basic alternative available for paid printables. In this case, that alternative is the one-page free holiday calligraphy exemplar.

This free worksheet includes four greetings (“Happy Holidays!”, “merry christmas”, “Merry and Bright”, “NOËL noël”) for your reference. While it doesn’t provide instructions on how to write, it does offer a tracing/practice opportunity!

Where to Find Last Year’s Calligraphy Worksheet

If you didn’t get a chance to order the TPK Holiday Calligraphy Worksheet 2016 Edition last year, you can find it by clicking here. My favorite part of that worksheet is the flourished holiday tree, which I have used to make greeting cards and envelopes!

Both of these worksheets will disappear from the TPK catalog on January 1st. They’re not gone for good, though; they’ll show up again next November, along with a 2018 edition!

If you choose to purchase the TPK Holiday Calligraphy Worksheet 2017 Edition, I heartily thank you for your patronage and support of TPK! You are what keeps this website and blog going, and I can’t express my gratitude enough. If you’re saving your pennies this year, don’t hesitate to download the free holiday calligraphy exemplar! Either way, it makes me happy to know that you are making amazing holiday paper goods and offsetting notorious holiday stress with creativity. 🙂

I am just amazed by your heart that shares your talent and shares it in a way that is affordable!! I have bought several of the different styles and have hopes of one day mastering at least one of them. Time constraints have kept me from doing this in the past few months even though I am retired. But…each post and part of your talent that you share keeps me optimistic that some day I will do this! This Christmas gift you have shared is truly beautiful. Thank you for your time and $5 is a small price to pay for such a unique opportunity to be presented this.
Merry Christmas….early!

Lindsey ~ I loved last year’s Finetec flourished Christmas tree! You’ve created something equally beautiful in this year’s snowflake. What an amazing creative you are, and, more importantly, what an amazing woman you are! Thank you for all you share here on the TPK blog. Wishing you and Hernán a holiday season that’s safe, merry & bright! 🎅🏻🎄🤶🏻

An early Christmas present to all of us, your followers! The Exemplar appears to be very helpful to those of us who enjoy personalizing our Christmas/Holiday/New Year’s greetings. Thank you for the hard work you put into your Blog and the various offerings throughout the year. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.

This worksheet looks wonderful! My goal this year is to hand-make holiday cards for my family and use calligraphy when addressing envelopes for my coworkers. I’ve been reading your blog for a while now during my calligraphy journey and wanted to thank you for all the fantastic content and information you provide – I purchased the Amy Style and Kaitlyn style and they have been so helpful in my learning progress.
